New Spring Scents with Fragrance Direct

Spring is one of my favourite seasons. I love the fresh faced make up looks, the warmer, sunny weather, the spring collections and of course, some fresh scents!

Last week the lovely people over at Fragrance Direct asked me if I'd like to try some of their new releases for Spring/Summer '17, and of course the answer was YES PLEASE! Within a few days 3 new scents arrived at my door; Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Kiss, Calvin Klein One Summer '17 edition and Escada Fiesta Carioca.

Although Spring scents can be quite floral I prefer more fresh or fruity scents, so I was relieved when I loved all of these dreams of fragrances as I'm quite picky when it comes to perfumes. Each one is either fresh or has a fruity tone to it and just scream 'Summer is coming!' to me.

The freshest fragrance out of the bunch has got to be Calvin Klein's CK One Summer '17 edition. Not only does the sea blue colour and sun ray design on the bottle make you feel like you're holding a Summer day in a bottle, the undertones of lime, citron and cucumber provide the freshest of scents and I have to admit it's the one I've been reaching for the most out of the 3. On Fragrance Direct's website it's described as 'Bright, Energetic and Fresh' and that honestly hits the nail on the head! It also smells a bit like aftershave to me but more feminine which I love.

Moving to the other end of the spectrum we have Escada's Fiesta Carioca. A few years ago one of my friends was obsessed with Escada but I haven't really heard of the name since, so receiving this perfume was quite nostalgic for me. If you like a fruity scent then this is for you. Fiesta Carioca contains notes of passion fruit, raspberry and orange flower making it a fruity dream! I feel like this is going to be lovely on holiday is it will go hand in hand with sunny weather and cocktails.

And last but definitely not least I got a bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Kiss. First of all, prettiest packaging ever! Marc Jacobs' Daisy range is something that's been running for years, and I've always loved the thought of having one of the pretty, floral bottles making my dressing table look extra pretty but I've never quite found a scent I liked as they've always been too floral for me, but as the name suggests this one is lovely and fresh! With notes of mandarin leaf, blackcurrant, pink pepper, peony, cherry blossom and pink rose this fragrance has just the right balance between fresh and a hint of floral. I can see this becoming a favourite of mine!
